HardcoreHunter Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Their use is kinda limited. Many sites actually block the popular fast tab ip addresses; so unless you want to go into advanced features and look up lesser used IP addresses in other states or countries, it may not be as useful as you'd think. On average it also slows your internet speed when in use. I did have an interesting discovery though when using mine and called bullshit on my ISP. They were throttling my service, which I could tell because I was actually getting faster speeds with the VPN. They said it was an equipment issue on my end, but that made no sense since the VPN is using the same equipment; so they were just trying to cover their ass. Torrents run into same issue as above though. You need to research an IP to use because the fast tab ones they have won't work. Really the best use you can probably get out of it is region locked streaming services. If you're doing sketchy shit it's better to just use tor to hide from your isp. Though if the Feds want to know what you're doing online there is little you can do to stop them. I've attributed these to putting a deadlock on your front door, but conveniently have a patch of rocks outside and a bunch of ground level glass windows. If someone really wants access to you're shit, they're getting it. It says something when multi-million dollar companies spend hundreds or even millions on security and still get ddos attacks. These $100 VPN services aren't really going to do jack shit against something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I moved out, buying my own place, I had this one internet service that was overpriced, it being the only option for fast and unlimited internet where I used to live. The internet itself was unlimited, I could download games, movies, etc. But it was still bound by the bullshit limitations mobile providers like AT&T, T-mobile, etc. artificially impose on their network where you quite literally can't watch anything above 480p otherwise it'd just keep buffering every 2 seconds. But through a VPN videos would load immediately, even in 4k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case though I pay for 90mbs and they were giving me under 10mbs, while I was getting 60mbs with the VPN. Asshats wouldn't even reimburse me for the time that I didn't have high speed internet. They did get me a new modem though, which was jack shit of the problem because I know it was just a number they had capped in their computer. Hell for a while they kept trying to blame my router, until I said fuck it and just did a direct connection from my modem to my pc. Then they were trying to say my cable must be bad despite it getting good VPN speeds. It's really crap like that which annoys the hell out of me with them. They haven't tried it with me again though since I called their bullshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 There’s only a few specific uses for VPNs nowadays. 1. Screwing your ISP for throttling you or stopping certain services because fuck you. 2. Getting Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, etc. libraries from other countries because the USA is assholes about content and shows. Also, because fuck your ISP. 3. Traveling in other countries. (Which was the ORIGINAL use of VPNs in the first place.) 4. Making a secure tunnel for certain purchases or visits that you don’t want prying eyes looking into.
